Chapter 209 Hostages
After the telegram was sent, Director Lei also asked the car to drive there. When they almost reached Olive Street, there was a response to the matter over there.
After the vehicle slowly stopped at the street intersection, a captain from the censorship bureau walked up to the vehicle, rolled down the window, and said:
"Director, according to your instructions, we found three pillars wrapped with decorations in the surrounding stores and affixed them with paper with names written on them. We then went to the company to search and found that a total of eight people were not in the company.
We checked their work supplies and found traces ranging from five or six days to at least two months.
But the people in the company thought they were still there, and they didn't think anything was abnormal when they got to know each other day and night."
Director Lei said: "Give me the list."
The captain immediately handed over a written piece of paper. Director Lei took a look at it and handed it to Chen Chuan who was standing aside, "Is there anyone you are looking for?"
Chen Chuan took it, looked at it, and saw that Senior Min Lan's name was clearly on it, and nodded to Director Lei.
Director Lei said: "Those employees should have been affected by the esoteric rituals. They thought people were there, but in fact they were no longer around."
Chen Chuan thought to himself, no wonder when he called just now, he said that the person was there, but also said that he couldn't answer the phone. It should be that this person existed in their consciousness, but this person obviously couldn't come over to talk to others.
But even so, it is impossible for the family members of these employees not to feel abnormal for such a long time, so there must be other reasons why they can hide it.
The captain added: "When we were searching just now, we found that a relatively large number of employees in this company had disappeared due to commissioned tasks in the past six months. Most of them happened on a commissioned task."
Director Lei thought for a moment and said, "Is there any result from the Communications Bureau?"
The captain said: "We are waiting, it should be soon." At this time, a team member came over and handed over a note. He looked at it and handed it over, "Director, I found it. When we entered Qingyao Company, there was a telegram from
It’s sent out from the building, and the receiving place is right here.”
Director Lei took it, looked at it, and said: "According to this address, immediately notify Lao Gao to check it out and control the people inside first."
The captain said yes, turned around and left quickly.
Director Lei told Chen Zhuan: "Those who are still feeling should still be alive, because if you want to achieve this effect, you must maintain the lives of those people. Esoteric rituals are usually restricted rituals that require enduring some kind of
costs and reaching certain conditions and costs to obtain results.”
Chen Chuan couldn't help but think of Director Lei's son. In order to maintain the existence of the ceremony, he needed to save people's lives. Maybe it was because the child was too young and he was afraid of being killed, so he didn't do anything too drastic to him.
But as long as these people's lives are maintained without worrying about other things, the result is hard to say.
We can only hope that these people can still remain intact.
He asked: "Director Lei, why do they do this?"
Director Lei said: "After reading the information you gave me, I knew that this should be a branch of the 'Life Sect'. The origin of this secret sect is unknown and its ingredients are complex. To put it simply, people in this sect believe that human life energy can be
Transferred to another person through a certain method.
This theory may not be correct, but the results are possible, but there may be some things that you cannot grasp and control.
Judging from the situation, they should have deliberately given some kind of commission, and then made the company's employees disappear during the commission process. In fact, they captured them and used them to hold esoteric rituals."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and found that it was indeed not easy to arouse suspicion by doing so. After all, the damage rate for entrusted tasks was already very high. It can also be seen that in order to make this entrustment credible, this company also issued entrustments to other companies.
I'm afraid I'm also trying to trick people from other companies.
This is in line with what Senior Sister Min Lan said before. No wonder the employees of this company have suffered several failures. It is the company's own fault. How can you find out the results?
Senior Sister Min Lan probably found some clues at that time and felt that there was something wrong with the company, so she sent the letter to him.
Director Lei said: "If you commission ghost stories, you will probably often deal with things related to esoteric religions. Outsiders can't tell the difference between the two. I will send you a copy of the information when you get back, but remember not to leak it."
Chen Zhen expressed his sincere thanks: "Thank you, Director Lei."
He knew that ghost stories could still find some people among the people who knew how to deal with them, but the secret rituals were too professional, and unless it was through official channels, there would be no way to get a clue.
After the two waited here for half an hour, the captain came back and told Director Lei that they had found the place and arrested the person. The person knew that the matter was exposed and confessed without much questioning.
The leader involved in this matter was the main senior executive of the company. The location where the person was hiding was also revealed. He was hidden less than 500 meters away from here. Now a large number of officers from the Inspection Bureau have gone to arrest him.
Director Lei said: "The results will be known soon."
Chen Chuan sat here and watched the whole process. Director Lei just looked at the information for a while and was able to accurately determine what secret sect this was and how to deal with it. In just two or three hours, the matter was almost solved.
Sure enough, professional things should be left to professionals.
In addition to Director Lei's rich experience in esotericism, he also has a strong professional team with national endorsement that can coordinate the participation of multiple departments in the operation.
If he were to solve this matter alone, he would have to investigate in advance and slowly sort out the clues before making a decision. It may also be because the other party is a person of high status, and even if the target is determined, it will be difficult to capture it immediately. In the end,
The results may not be satisfactory.
Until an individual is strong enough, the team is ultimately better than the individual.
The same is true for combat training. If there is no systematic organization to provide him with the necessary training resources, there is no way he can calm down and practice.
This is both a constraint and a help. Before you have enough strength, these are things that you cannot get rid of. You must even take the initiative to integrate them and make full use of them as much as possible, so that they can become a boost and ladder to push yourself forward.
"You should have submitted your application to go to Central City, right?" Director Lei asked at this time.
Chen Chuanchuan: "It has been handed over."
Director Lei said: "You have the talent to engage in esoteric work. It would be a pity to waste it. So after graduation, if you are interested, you can come to the Esoteric Examination Bureau and I can be your recommender."
Chen Chuan was moved. Director Lei is the director of Yangzhi. Can he affect Central City? Or is he about to be promoted?
This may also be because Director Lei has an unusual background. After all, to sit in this position, you must have ability. The key is to look at the background. Sometimes ability is not that important.
For example, what happened to Director Lei before, but others were unable to remove him from his position, this is evident.
After waiting here for more than a quarter of an hour, the captain came back in a hurry.
"Director, there are a lot of company security personnel guarding that place, and they carry a lot of guns illegally. They are probably the backbone of the cult. When we saw people from the patrol bureau surrounding us surrounding the building, those people were still resisting there.
, and threatened the hostages inside.
Judging from the staff information, there should be a second level of fighters here. It will be difficult for the manpower we bring to rush in. I'm afraid we will have to transfer people from the bureau."
When Chen Chuan heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Director Lei, the longer it takes, the more dangerous it will be to the hostages. Why don't you leave this matter to me?"
Director Lei looked at him and said, "You should be still in the period of national recruitment, right?"
Chen Chuanchuan: "Yes."
Director Lei said: "In that case, I am also a member of this action team, so this can also be counted as a national commission. Student Chen, now in the name of the action team committee member, I ask you to cooperate in solving the cult elements in front of you, and
Rescue the hostages as much as possible."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Director Lei, just leave it to the students."
While the two people were talking, the car also started and drove to the location, which was a five-story office building. The patrol bureau inspectors who had been rushed around pulled up the blocking rope and blocked the irrelevant personnel.
Evacuated.
After the vehicle stopped, the door was pushed open, and Chen Chuan walked out. Although he did not bring the Snow Lord Sword when meeting Director Lei this time, it didn't matter. As long as there were no three-limit fighters on the other side, it didn't matter whether he used the weapon or not.
It's the same.
If there were such masters, those people wouldn't have to hide inside and rely on hostages as threats, they would have been able to kill them out long ago.
The sunshine in September was no longer so hot, but it was still dazzling, especially the light reflected on the windows was very dazzling. He looked up for a while and then withdrew his gaze. Then, under the gaze of members of the Patrol Bureau and the Esoteric Cult Bureau, he slowly
Walk forward.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket and slowly approached the building. He was still more than 40 meters away from the building. The next moment we met, everything around him seemed to slow down suddenly.
Then, as if in just one step, he arrived in front of the building. Instead of entering the building and taking the stairs, he stepped on the outer wall.
From his point of view, it was as if he was stepping on flat ground at this moment. Using his own momentum to jump forward, he reached the level with the fifth floor window in almost the blink of an eye.
He controlled his strength just right. When he reached this height, his momentum was exhausted, so he paused slightly in mid-air.
At this moment, he could see the people in the window looking at him with frightened and angry eyes, and the muzzle of the gun that was about to be raised and fired at him. He looked at it calmly, leaned forward, stretched out his arms, and caught it.
The man's wrist was gently pulled, and with this force, he jumped in, and the man was directly pulled out by him.
The two of them passed each other in an instant, and then with a click, his light and powerful feet landed on the ground indoors, and he stood up straight. Behind him, there was a distant scream.
